Monsters, Villians, Giants and Warlords

Attamus (Lady and the Dragon) Warlord who had enslaved a young dragon to do his bidding.

Blue Priest - A servent of Hera, Hercules killed him by slicing off his head in Hercules and the Lost Kingdom

Callisto (Surprise and Armegeddon Now parts I & II) Usually a nemesis of Xena, she enjoyed tormenting Hercules as well.

Demetrius (Mother of All Monsters) Villian working for Echidna.He romanced Herc's mom and then kidnapped her so that Echidna could kill her after she had Hercules killed. He was killed in the fight at Echidna's Cave. (see also Maceus

Echidna (Mother of all Monsters, Cast a Giant Shadow, Monster Child in the Promised Land) - played by Bridget Hoffmann under a ton and a half of latex appliance with severe dental problems. (Which raises the question - would Echidna have been such a monster if she had gotten proper orthodonture when she was just a tadpole?). Mother of the Hydra, the Stymphalian Bird and the She-Demon (all whacked by Hercules in various movies and episodes). Speculation on the mechanics of Typhon and Echidna's marital relations is endless.

Fee, Fi and Fofum Baby Harpies (Beanstalks and Bad Eggs see also Typhoon) Their role models appeared to be the Three Stooges.

Giant Freshwater River Eel (Pride Comes Before a Brawl) A giant eel, from the episode, it sounded like those were pretty common.

Goth Warlord in "Seige at Naxos"

Hydra - A serpent - like creature with a single head. If you cut off the single head it will grow two heads to replace it. Hydra's can be destroyed with fire.
Amazon Women - Hera lures Hercules and Iolaus in near her altar with a small child that needs help. The child turns into a hydra.

Kamaros (Lost City) head of an underground commune, defeated by Iolaus. He was also Karkis, the Butcher of Thessaly.

Maceus Demetrius' brother who broke Iolaus' arm and was accidentally stabbed by Echidna in "Cast A Giant Shadow"

Maxius (Gladiator) Head of a prison where the prisoners are used to entertain in gladiatorial type games. Hercules and Iolaus defeated him and he was exiled.

Minotaur- a creature that is half man, half bull. It is also a son of Zeus and Hercules' half brother. The minotaur wanted to rule the gods and Zeus cursed him with ugliness and imprisoned him for his own good.

Moray Eel in the Treasure Trove -(King of Thieves) - doesn't have any lines, but it does try to eat both Herc and Autolycus!

Mummy (Mummy Dearest) - Egyptian mummy that got loose. Hercules had to help subdue it.

Sand Mantas (War Wounds and Mercenary YH- Beasts Beneath) Creatures that live under the sand in various deserts. They are carnivorous and pull their victims under the sand to devour them. Sorta like the critters in "Tremors"

Thanatos (Hero's Heart) second in command of the mafia-type gang that Iolaus gets involved with.

Typhon - (Cast a Giant Shadow, Monster Child in the Promised Land) - played by Glen Shadik - a "gentle giant" mostly. His best line was "I'm a lover not a fighter". However, he DID backhand poor Iolaus across the field in a fit of temper, so maybe that qualifies him as a villain with an asterisk? He is married to Echidna

Typhoon Giant (Beanstalks and Bad Eggs) Brother to Typhon and played by the same actor, lives in a castle in the clouds at the top of a beanstalk. He was tasked by Hades to babysit the Harpy eggs. He had more of a temper than his brother, but turned out to be a good guy in the end.
